My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1322 Guarding

Ling Xue was also attracted by Zhou Xing's courage, kindness and optimism during their interactions. Their feelings grew quietly during this long journey, like wild flowers blooming silently by the roadside, which are not gorgeous but tenacious and lasting.

Finally, they arrived at the legendary valley. The valley was filled with strange fog, eerie and terrifying. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue walked forward cautiously, and suddenly, a melodious flute sound came. The flute sound was gentle and ethereal, but it also revealed an indescribable evil spirit. They walked cautiously in the direction of the flute sound and found a man in a black robe. The man had a pale face and sinister eyes. When he saw Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, he showed a cold smile.

"You are finally here. I am determined to get this map." The man sneered. Zhou Xing shouted angrily: "You evil thief, don't even think about succeeding!" After that, he and Ling Xue attacked the man together. The man was very skilled. The magic flute in his hand could not only play confusing music, but also turn into a sharp blade to attack. The battle fell into a stalemate. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue cooperated closely. The sparks from the collision between their swords and the other magic flute flashed in the mist.

In the fierce battle, Zhou Xing found a flaw in the man and signaled Ling Xue with his eyes. Ling Xue understood and pretended to retreat, leading the man to chase. Just when the man was proud, Zhou Xing suddenly attacked from the side and stabbed the man with a sword. The man was unable to dodge and was seriously injured. But at this critical moment, the man's accomplices who had been hiding in the dark suddenly appeared, holding various weapons and surrounded Zhou Xing and Ling Xue.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood back to back, facing many enemies without any fear. Zhou Xing clenched his sword tightly, his eyes determined: "Even if it costs our lives today, we must not let the map fall into their hands." Ling Xue was the same, her red robe fluttering in the wind, like a battle flag. They struggled to resist the enemy's attack, and their figures were like the spirit of war gods in the interweaving of swords and sword shadows.

Just as they were gradually exhausted, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. It turned out that the people of Qingping Town spontaneously organized themselves and came to support them with simple weapons such as farm tools. The appearance of the people gave Zhou Xing and Ling Xue great encouragement. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they worked together with the people to finally repel the evil bandits.

After this battle, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's relationship deepened. They found the secret map in the valley, and following the clues on the map, they discovered an ancient treasure. This treasure is not gold or silver, but a group of long-lost martial arts secrets and magic weapons. These treasures are of great help in improving the country's military strength.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue handed over the treasure to the court, and the court rewarded them for their achievements. However, they did not become complacent. Zhou Xing returned to Qingping Town and continued to work as a constable, protecting the peace of the people. Ling Xue returned to the Ministry of Justice and continued to work hard to maintain the justice of the dynasty.

Although they were in different places, their hearts were always closely connected. On a quiet night, the moonlight sprinkled on the streets of Qingping Town. Zhou Xing stood at the entrance of the town, looking at the night sky in the distance, thinking of Ling Xue in his heart. Suddenly, a red shadow flashed by, and Ling Xue appeared in front of him.

"Zhou Xing, I have completed the task of the Criminal Division and came to meet you." Ling Xue said with a smile. Zhou Xing's face was full of surprise. He held Ling Xue's hand tightly: "Ling Xue, you are like a beam of light in my life, illuminating my way forward." Ling Xue snuggled in Zhou Xing's arms and said softly: "You are also my support in my heart. With you around, I have the courage to face everything."

From then on, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue shuttled back and forth between Qingping Town and the Ministry of Justice, and they continued to fight for justice and seek welfare for the people. Their love story spread among the people and became a good story, inspiring countless people to work hard for justice and love in their hearts. In that land of the dynasty full of hope and challenges, they left their legendary footprints, like bright stars, forever shining in the long river of history.

Zhou Xing has practiced martial arts since he was young, and has acquired excellent skills and keen insight. He has a strong body, a resolute face, and a look of determination and courage in his eyes. In this prosperous capital, he has become a well-known detective with his own skills.

Ling Xue, as the chief judge of the Ministry of Justice, was born into a noble family. She was extremely intelligent since childhood, well-read, and proficient in various legal and criminal investigation techniques. She had a graceful figure and heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes. She had both the gentleness of a woman and the courage of a man.

It was a sunny spring afternoon. Zhou Xing received a report that a wealthy businessman in the city was murdered at home. The scene was in chaos. Zhou Xing rushed to the scene and saw the businessman lying in a pool of blood. There were signs that his belongings had been rummaged through. He carefully inspected the scene, not missing any details, and recorded everything from footprints to the placement of items.

While Zhou Xing was concentrating on the investigation, Ling Xue also arrived with the people from the Ministry of Justice. She scanned the scene with a sharp gaze, then walked to Zhou Xing and said softly, "Sir, this case seems simple, but it actually hides a mystery. Have you found anything?" Zhou Xing was slightly stunned, and looked up at the heroic woman in front of him, and a sense of curiosity surged in his heart. He stood up, saluted and said, "Sir Ling, I found that the murderer seemed to be very familiar with the property of the rich man's house. It should be an acquaintance who committed the crime. The murderer is agile and judging from the traces left at the scene, he was not panicked."

Ling Xue nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "What the detective said is very true, I agree with him. But the range of his acquaintances is very wide, it may take some time to check them one by one." Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Chief Justice Ling, I will cooperate with you to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."

In terms of resource sharing, they have also reached in-depth cooperation. Zhou Xing uses the farm's excess vegetables and fruits to provide free snacks and drinks in the rest area of ​​the fishing ground, allowing tourists to taste fresh agricultural products while waiting for the fish to bite. Ling Xue provides the farm with a stable supply of fish for making special fish banquets, enriching the farm's catering menu. At the same time, they also jointly organized some large-scale rural cultural festivals, such as fishing competitions and agricultural culture exhibitions, and jointly invited travel agencies and media from surrounding cities to participate in publicity and promotion, further expanding their influence.

As the cooperation deepened, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's careers reached new heights. The number of visitors to the fishing grounds continued to grow, and it became not only well-known locally, but also attracted fishing enthusiasts from surrounding cities and even further afield to try their hand. The farm's business was also booming, and during the peak season, reservations were even required in advance to qualify for the experience. Their success story became a legend in the village, providing reference and inspiration for other villagers, and driving the vigorous development of the entire rural economy.

In this process, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing also gained a deep friendship. They often exchanged business experiences and discussed future development plans. When encountering difficulties, they supported each other and overcame them together. They are no longer simple competitors and neighbors, but partners who work together and share honor and disgrace. As time goes by, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes with their joint efforts. The original simple country road has become a wide and flat concrete road, with colorful flowers blooming on the roadside, exuding bursts of fragrance. The environment of the village has been further improved, and new clean public toilets, garbage disposal stations and other facilities have been built to provide tourists with a more comfortable and convenient travel environment. The villagers have also benefited from the development of tourism, and have opened up industries such as farmhouses and homestays, which have greatly increased their income and significantly improved their living standards.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are not satisfied with the status quo. They have bigger dreams and ambitions. Ling Xue plans to build a comprehensive leisure resort integrating fishing, water sports and ecological sightseeing based on the fishing ground. She invited a professional tourism planning team to design and introduce some high-end leisure projects, such as sailing and kayaking, to attract more tourists who pursue high-quality leisure life.

Zhou Xing has set his sights on the development of agricultural science and technology. He actively introduced advanced agricultural planting technology and equipment, and built an intelligent greenhouse in the farm to grow some rare and special fruit and vegetable varieties and off-season agricultural products. At the same time, he also developed an online sales platform to promote the farm's products to a wider market, so that more people can taste the green and healthy food from the countryside.

However, new challenges also came with it. During the construction of the resort, a large number of land expropriation and environmental assessment procedures were involved. Some villagers had doubts about the land compensation plan and were worried that their interests would not be protected, which led to resistance. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing knew that only with the support of the villagers could the project proceed smoothly. So they visited the villagers door to door, patiently explained the project's planning and development prospects, and listened to the villagers' voices and demands. After countless communications and coordination, they finally developed a land compensation plan that most villagers could accept, ensuring the smooth progress of the project.

In terms of environmental protection, they also face strict supervision and pressure from public opinion. Building a comprehensive leisure resort may have a certain impact on the surrounding ecological environment. How to balance tourism development and ecological protection has become an urgent problem for them to solve. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing took the initiative to invite environmental experts to evaluate and guide, invested a lot of money in the construction of environmental protection facilities such as sewage treatment and garbage disposal, and strictly controlled the construction quality during the project construction process to minimize damage to the environment.

Despite the numerous difficulties, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing never gave up. With their firm belief, tenacious perseverance and deep love for this land, they overcame difficulties one after another. With their efforts, the prototype of a comprehensive leisure resort gradually emerged, the fruits and vegetables in the intelligent greenhouses thrived, and the online sales business was also booming.

On a sunny day, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stood on the observation deck of the resort that was about to be completed, looking at the scene that was beginning to take shape, with a lot of emotion in their hearts. Looking back on the ups and downs they had gone through in the past, they knew the hardships and difficulties along the way. From the initial neighborhood conflicts to the current in-depth cooperation, from a single fishing ground and farm to a diversified rural tourism complex, they have experienced countless setbacks and tests, but also gained the joy of success and precious friendship.

"This journey has been really not easy." Ling Xue said with emotion, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Yes, but all the efforts are worth it." Zhou Xing said with a smile, his eyes full of longing for the future.

"Well, there is still a long way to go, and we must keep working hard." Ling Xue clenched her fists and said firmly.

"Yes, I believe we can create a better tomorrow." Zhou Xing nodded, stood side by side with Ling Xue, and looked into the distance with a firm gaze.

In a corner of a bustling city, high-rise buildings are springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Each building carries the dreams and sweat of countless people. Zhou Xing is an ordinary member of this huge construction site. His skin is dark and rough due to the years and the scorching sun, and his hands are covered with calluses and scars. However, his eyes are simple and resolute. Every day when the sun breaks, he plunges into the jungle of steel and concrete, moves between scaffoldings, and piles up the edge of the city with heavy bricks.

Ling Xue is an architect who sketches the city skyline on the computer screen in a bright and spacious office. She is wearing a well-tailored white shirt and black trousers, with a pair of smart and focused eyes under her delicate makeup. She holds a drawing pen in her hand, as if she is composing a piece of solidified music, turning the wonderful ideas in her mind into magnificent or exquisite architectural blueprints. Those lines and drawings are her way of communicating with the world.

The gears of fate turned quietly, starting with an accidental cooperation project. A real estate developer planned to build a comprehensive park integrating residential and commercial areas on the outskirts of the city. Zhou Xing's construction team won the bid to be responsible for infrastructure construction, while Ling Xue's design company took over the overall planning and architectural design. When Ling Xue brought the team to the construction site for preliminary inspection, she saw Zhou Xing leading his fellow workers to skillfully carry out foundation excavation operations. He stood next to the huge excavator, directing the operation of the machinery, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but his eyes were focused and courageous. At that moment, Ling Xue's heart moved slightly. This seemingly ordinary man exuded a unique charm, which was the unique strength and confidence of workers.

After the inspection, Ling Xue returned to the office, her mind full of Zhou Xing's figure. She couldn't help but start thinking, these construction workers, who toiled under the scorching sun every day, built the skeleton of the city with their own hands, they are the real cornerstone of the city. And Zhou Xing is one of them. His existence gave her a new understanding of architecture. It is no longer just lines and models on drawings, but entities full of the hard work and sweat of countless people.

On the other side, Zhou Xing also noticed this beautiful and capable female architect. He watched her shuttle around the construction site, communicating with various persons in charge, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes nodding and smiling, and her serious look was deeply imprinted in his heart. When he returned to the simple shed at night, Ling Xue's figure always appeared unconsciously in Zhou Xing's mind.
